Superscript text size issue - Microsoft Community

after recent update (i cannot pinpoint which) documents on computer (i assume because using same blank document template) have had superscript text size changed. main body of document in times size 12 example , if highlighted superscripted footnote number times size 12. however, in truth footnote number much smaller be. 

i have attempted modify 'footnote reference' style , 'normal + superscript' style nothing has worked. if try fiddle font size in styles nothing happens , remains very small.

i work footnotes in particular daily , open important documents , can barely read footnote numbering in text (the footnote numbers @ end of page tiny despite saying size 12 'footnote reference' style). likewise saying 21st century, superscripted 'st' much smaller should normal superscript.

if printed superscripts go normal , displayed @ normal smaller font size main body, not tiny in electronic document.

is there universal way fix issue documents adhering template? if template issue... i'm not sure.

edit: if open same document in office 2013 windows superscripts appear @ normal size font 12. on documents created under 1 template appear differently when open in mac 2016.

problem font itself. try using different font , see if superscripts display properly.
